I never thought of reading a children's book to heal my inner child.

[@cupsandthoughts]

i love children books!! they’re so magical, i never had much access to them as a child so i’m taking advantage of my position now because they’re still very magical to me 🥰

[@dreamytulip]

I definitely would love an annotating video Your thought process and everything

[@cupsandthoughts]

big yes!! i’m keen to do this 🥰

[@Lonelygravesidewriter]

It is definitely worth continuing the regency fairytale trilogy!! Each book follows different characters, but because it's all in the same world the ones from past books do pop up. Personally my favorite is the second one (it was a five star!), but without giving anything away, the characters from Half a Soul are in the third one much more. 💕

[@cupsandthoughts]

oooooh okay you’ve definitely piqued my interest 😍😍 ahhh i’m so excited now!!! i’ll pick them up when i have the chance 🥹 thanks for the lovely recommendation 🤍

[@Lonelygravesidewriter]

[@PQ_497]

When I watch silent vlogs that's all I do because I don't want to miss the subs so for me a long readathon would be boring, unless you're talking. I actually hope you still make 10-15 minute videos now and then but I'll still watch

[@mish_khe]

Hey, I love your channel, it got me inspired to try annotating my books and I have definitely started to enjoy reading more. I do have a couple questions for you. It would be amazing if you could make a video about that. 1) How do you manage to juggle, sticker shop, book reviews, making KZbin videos and a full time job? Thats's a lot of work. I started making videos a while ago and I am already struggling to keep up with work and yt. 2) Also, I would love a video about your top 10 book recommendations or reviews etc. I read babel because I saw you praising it one of your vlog and instantly fell in love with the book. And I need more recs. I am currently reading 'the unmasking of June Farrow.

ahhh video from you before i sleepppp 😊😊 i hope all is well with your personal life Cath. ❤ It is difficult but like you said, Trust in God's plan 🌞 sending my love from Singapore which has never experienced winter (yay for me cos I don't like the cold).

I'm still in love with your mini garden ❤ I want one too, already have a land. I hardly expect my father to build the house and I start a garden. Then, if God wills, I can read my books and watch your videos in a very quiet garden 😊😊

[@elisaharo3917]

such beautiful books, I don´t understand how they can damaged be damaged like this, they should never be scratched.

[@cupsandthoughts]

people have different opinions i guess! i see annotations as a way of appreciating these beautiful books ☺️

[@pollys6192]

I wasn't going to journal today because nothing remarkable has happened today, I have nothing I want to write down, just routine and more routine... but then you had to go and drop this video XD Of course I picked up my journal. Let's see what comes out of this. Last sunday it was my birthday, I don't have friends near me but I have very good friends all over my country that have blessed me with books. I have received more than ten books over the last few days and I feel so... seen, you know what I mean? I spend most of my days alone, on my own, talking only to the people at the café that I go to read everyday before gym, and then the people at the gym. That's all, of course I don't mention my parents and my aunts, I talk to them every day. But it's not the same, we don't share tastes, we can't talk about books, for examples, because our reading habits and our choices are different (both of my parents are readers but not at our level). It's so lonely sometimes, but then after lunch I turn on my laptop and all of my friends are there, you all are there and I'm grateful for that.

[@moumitan09]

Hey Polly!! Belated Happy Birthday girl. Sending u loads of hugs. Stay happy.

[@cupsandthoughts]

polly, you have no idea how special this is! i relate to you soooo much. i hope you had a wonderful birthday :) this comment section + our discord book club is always open if you ever want to chat! online friends are honestly so special! i don’t have very many physical friende myself (my sisters are my absolute best friends in the world)!!! so i understand. regardless, i’m happy you have true friends around you who are kind and wonderful and makes you feel seen 🥰🥰 sending you lots of love! 🤍

[@patriciasalem3606]

Finally I got a chance to sit down and catch your latest video. I love the closeups with the mini tripod! I don't have a YT channel (yet?), but I have a mini tripod (more of a traditional design) I inherited from my dad , and now I'm excited to try it out for some photos. It's 40 degrees here in Southern California today, so it's nice to see somewhere chilly. How I envy your ability to get cozy and wear a jumper and yet still grow greens in your backyard! I'm dying to go buy some books at a real bookstore instead of online. But the nearest (and only) bookstore in my rural area is a 45-minute drive from here, and with the heat, I won't try it. Can't wait for it to "cool off" to 35 degrees lol.

Yes, Half a Soul was so good! I read Ten Thousand Stitches (book 2) and I think I liked it even more, there is a small cameo from book 1 :D. You annotated it so beautifully! Oh, those Lightfall graphic novels look so goooood. I need to check them out! OMG, this Babel edition is gorgeous! Yes yes yes, PLEASE read The Sword of Kaigen! The first 50-100 pages might be so so, but please work through them, everything after is absolutely heart-wrenching and beautiful. I read it last year and I still keep thinking about it. And her another book, Blood over Bright Haven is just as good, maybe even better. It gripped me right with the first chapter.
